From the mind of the man Stephen King calls "a master of the macabre", comes a brilliant new collection of no-punches-pulled horror stories, some never-before-collected and many originals that have never been published anywhere before. Bentley Little can take the innocuous, twist it around, and write a story that will change your way of thinking. Walking Alone: Short Stories is a shining example of his talent to scare you, creep you out, and make you shudder.

Daniel Martin has never forgotten his childhood encounters with Frank Watkins, the man who built his family a summer home out of cardboard and plywood. Frank's gaze was oddly confusing, as if he was attempting to discern the proper way to behave because he didn't know how to respond in a human manner. Since Frank obviously wasn't an alien, young Daniel thought maybe the man was crazy. In the end, Daniel would learn the terrifying truth about Frank Watkins. And as an adult, Daniel is about to discover there are more of them out there.

In a small Arizona town, a man counts his blessings: a loving wife, two teenage daughters, and a job that allows him to work at home. Then "The Store" announces plans to open a local outlet, which will surely finish off the small downtown shops. His concerns grow when "The Store's" builders ignore all the town's zoning laws during its construction. Then dead animals are found on "The Store's" grounds. Inside, customers are hounded by obnoxious sales people, and strange products appear on the shelves.

Everything at The Reata is perfect - although Rachel is a bit unnerved by the openly lustful gaze of one of the gardeners, something she doesn't mention to Lowell. Nor does he tell her about the frightening sensation he has in the pool of hands clutching at him, trying to pull him under.

Publisher's Summary

The Collection, Volume 2 contains the following 17 terrifying stories from Bentley Little's The Collection:

Story

Great stories, terrible editing

Any additional comments?

I loved listening to these Bentley stories. Unfortunately, whoever did the editing did a really poor job. All the stories ran together like a single sentence. There was no pause to let me know a new story was beginning and I had to rewind several times because of this. It was confusing and frustrating.

Bentley Little, Volume 2

This audiobook was good, but not as good as Volume 1. A lot of the same stories were put on Volume 2 that we're from Volume 1. The narrator was ok. I think it would have been presented a little bit better if there were multiple voices narrating. It would have painted a better picture for the stories.
